Problem with wife / Father custody

I have a family with one child. My wife plans to leave the house due to a conflict. She also plans to take our 6-month old child with her. I will not allow her to take our child.Can i file a criminal case if she took our child?We are married since Nov 2015.

You cannot file a criminal case against your wife if she takes your child because she is also a parent. However, should she deprive you of seeing your child, then you can take legal action to protect your rights as a father. Considering, however, that your child is only 6 months old, your wife will have custody of the child, unless she is an unfit mother.
